RE: Unix Client Install

But it is stored, by default, under the oracle account's home directory
(together with the OUI and jre). I haven't tried it, but maybe you could
copy those as well? I would guess that the paths to all of these bits would
have to be the same on both machines.

It will allow you to run Oracle, but you won't be able
to upgrade it later. There some "orainventory" directory
where OUI keeps track of what it has installed on this
system. This folder is NOT stored in or under ORACLE_HOME

HTH & YYMV!
